anyone else notice this?

I haven't been posting long but I've posted twice about a recurring issue with a relationship and I've noticed that there are a large number of unsympathetic and compassionless people on here....i thought these boards were designed to help women find support and give them a sense of community with other expectant mothers...unfortunately (at least in the relationship board) I've seen some pretty cold and rather thoughtless comments (i actually had someone say i was 16 because, even though im 27, my best friend lying to me and calling me stupid for being pregnant makes me a child for being hurt by her words)....im aware that people are human but sometimes people on here are just as bad as the people whom other mothers come to seek advice about and that is really sad

You'll find which boards to post on and how to post on them. There's tons of catty people on here, but believe it or not there are nice people who want to help and listen and give advice. Don't take the rude comments to heart, that's what they want. Good luck with everything and hope it gets better with your best friend!

thank you! you're right there are many caring and genuine people on here, it just baffled me at how brutal and unsupportive/unsympathetic some posters can be especially when you know full well people here are seeking solace and understanding that they may not have elsewhere

When I first joined the board, I had similar interactions. It turned me off and I stopped logging on for the longest time. It saddened me to know that people you would think would be caring, were the complete opposite. But I started looking at other boards and found a lot if great people eventually. Good luck hun! You're not alone. :-)

I am one to tell it like it is, so you might think of that as rude. I don't support what I see as bad choices. There is much of that on this website. I noticed it is usually the app users that are offended. I find people get offended if they don't agree with an opposing view. Just remember, not everyone will agree with you. That does not mean they are all rude.

i was considering not posting after last night out of disgust but you two ladies and a few others changed my mind; that and im too stubborn to let self righteous individuals dictate to me my feelings or what actually should be considered a problem. everyone has issues and everyone needs someone to talk to, isn't that why we're ALL here? :-)

i may have an opposing view but that doesn't give me the right to be condescending or a dictator...i tell it like it is but i also always think of how i want to be spoken to and then proceed with my statement. i won't lie to someone on here who needs advice, but i also am fully aware that people will make their own decisions, so at best im just someone for them to vent to....that doesn't mean i should degrade them or curse at them or make them feel inadequate or childish for how they feel in their situation;
